Our approach is focused on making reading and writing enjoyable and accessible, laying the groundwork for strong literacy skills that will support their academic journey.
Math/Science
Our Math and Science curriculum is all about exploring numbers, patterns, and the world around us. Through hands-on activities, children learn basic math concepts like counting, shapes, and measurement, while our science projects spark curiosity about nature, technology, and how things work. We encourage questioning, experimentation, and observation, helping children to develop logical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Art
Art is a vital part of our curriculum, offering children a creative outlet to express themselves and explore different mediums. From painting and drawing to sculpture and crafts, our art program is designed to inspire creativity, improve fine motor skills, and encourage artistic exploration. We believe that art is not only about the end product but also about the process of creation and the joy it brings.
Critical Thinking
Developing critical thinking skills is a key objective of our curriculum. Through puzzles, problem-solving activities, and open-ended questions, we challenge children to think critically and creatively. Our environment encourages children to explore different solutions, understand cause and effect, and make informed decisions. This foundation in critical thinking prepares them for lifelong learning and adaptability.
